Present criminal misc. petition has been filed for

quashing of FIR No.486/2022 registered with Police Station Karni

Vihar, District Jaipur for the offence under Section 354 IPC.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

parties have compromised the matter and a compromise deed has

been filed before this Court.

Learned Public Prosecutor submits that the compromise

deed was produced before the Investigating Officer and as per the

(2 of 2)

[CRLMP-9218/2022]

factual report received, the same has been verified by the

Investigating Officer.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance

on the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Gian Singh Vs.

State of Punjab & Anr. reported in (2012) 10 SCC 303 &

State of Madhya Pradesh Vs. Laxmi Narayan & Ors.,

reported in (2019) 5 SCC 688 and submits that the

proceedings arising out of the FIR be quashed.

In the view of the aforementioned compromise arrived

at between the parties and considering the fact that the

compromise is not disputed by the counsel for the complainant

and as also applying the principles laid down by the Apex Court in

the case of Gian Singh (supra) and Laxmi Narayan (supra), this

Court deems it just and appropriate to invoke inherent powers of

this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C.

Accordingly, this criminal misc. petition is allowed.

Impugned FIR No.486/2022, registered with Police Station Karni

Vihar, Jaipur for the offence under Section 354 IPC is quashed.

Stay application and all pending applications, if any,

stand disposed of.

Factual report produced by the learned Public
